The Astounding Harp Guitars of the Larson Brothers

For the first time, the entire known harp guitar output of the fabled Larson brothers is presented in this new 50+ page PDF article. (The Dyers are condensed into an overview, as they retain their own vast section on the original website here.)

I’ve re-analyzed and present in this new writeup all labeled and non-labeled instruments, along with those labeled by other makers, whether known, alleged or suspect.

If I’ve missed anything, please let me know!

About The Author

Gregg Miner

Creator and Editor of Harpguitars.net Gregg Miner has been fascinated by harp guitars since the early 1970s. He purchased his first instrument (a 1916 red sunburst Gibson) in 1983, then fell in love with the harp guitars of Chris Knutsen when he found his first one in 1988. He collects harp guitars, researches harp guitars, writes about harp guitars, plays harp guitars, produces harp guitar CDs, buys and sells harp guitars, and currently runs Harpguitars.net, Harp Guitar Music and the Harp Guitar Foundation. You would think that by now he would be sick of harp guitars, but he is not.
